Manpages can have a rather large amount of interactivity. Documents can be formatted as text, as HTML, with links, etc. The problem is that manpages are an afterthought in too much of the Linux ecosystem, so people have low expectations and low beliefs in what they can actually do. They can have tables, they can have equations, they can have graphics.

  Not exhaustive, but I've written code that processes 50,000 or so man pages and haven't hit one.
